This role blends deep planning expertise and leadership, business development partnership, and industry visibility.

* Ensure planning solutions are operationally sound, technically rigorous, and defensible at the executive and board level.
* Establish planning frameworks and methodologies on key projects that can be replicated and scaled across the healthcare practice.
Thought Leadership and Industry Presence
* Represent BWBR at national and regional healthcare conferences, professional organizations, and industry events.
* Participate in speaking engagements, panels, and committees that strengthen BWBR's visibility and credibility.
* Contribute to thought leadership through writing and content creation, including BWBR self-publication and external industry outlets.
* Help position the firm in healthcare sub-markets such as critical access and rural healthcare, academic health, pediatric health, women's and infant's care, oncology, neuroscience, outpatient environments, and ASCs. Expertise in additional new sub-markets is welcome.
Tools and Knowledge Development
* Lead development of healthcare planning tools, benchmarking, and internal resources in collaboration with the BWBR's internal Healthcare Community of Practice group.
* Contribute to maintaining and evolve benchmarking databases and planning standards.
* Ensure planning knowledge is shared, scalable, and aligned with firm strategy.
Team Leadership and Mentorship
* Assist in mentorship of the Healthcare Planning team, with a focus on professional growth, accountability, and technical planning excellence.
* Support career development for mid-career planners and designers.
* Assist in establishing consistent standards, tools, and best practices across the planning practice.
Key Responsibilities
Market and Practice Leadership
* Partner with PIC's and the Healthcare Market Practice Leader to shape healthcare market strategy and pursuit positioning.
* Serve as one of BWBR's senior subject matter experts in healthcare planning, programming, and medical space strategy.
* Strengthen market presence by cultivating trusted relationships with healthcare executives, system leaders, and construction and engineering partners.
* Provide strategic insight into healthcare trends, care delivery models, operational transformation, and capital planning.
Business Development and Pursuits
* Serve as a key team member on healthcare pursuits, contributing to:
o Strategy development and positioning
o Planning narratives and value propositions
o Interview preparation and executive-level presentations
* Collaborate with marketing teams on proposal content, messaging, and graphics.
* Help mentor teams on effective pursuit strategy and interview performance.
* Be a key interview team member that assists in "winning the room".
Qualifications
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture or a related AEC discipline
* 10+ years of experience in healthcare design and planning
* Demonstrated leadership experience in healthcare planning and client engagement
* Strong understanding of healthcare operations, space standards, and regulatory requirements

* Experience in contributing meaningfully to pursuits, interviews, and business development efforts
* Architecture licensure preferred
* ACHA certification and/or EDAC (or similar accreditation) preferred
Core Attributes
* Strategic thinker with deep healthcare market knowledge
* Trusted advisor with executive presence
* Collaborative leader who develops people and builds strong teams
* Strong communicator who clearly conveys complex ideas
* Passion for improving healthcare outcomes through planning and design
* An individual that is a connector in the healthcare design industry
